## @deftypefn {} {@var{y} =} cast (@var{x}, "@var{type}")
## @deftypefnx {} {@var{y} =} cast (@var{x}, "@var{like}", @var{var})
## Convert @var{x} to data type @var{type}.
##
## The input @var{x} may be a scalar, vector, or matrix of a class that is
## convertible to the target class (see below).
##
## If a variable @var{var} is specified after @qcode{"like"}, @var{x} is
## converted to the same data type and sparsity attribute. If @var{var} is
## complex, @var{x} will be complex, too.
##
## @var{var} may be and @var{type} may name any of the following built-in
## numeric classes:
##
## @example
## @group
## "double"
## "single"
## "logical"
## "char"
## "int8"
## "int16"
## "int32"
## "int64"
## "uint8"
## "uint16"
## "uint32"
## "uint64"
## @end group
## @end example
##
## The value @var{x} may be modified to fit within the range of the new type.
##
## Examples:
##
## @example
## @group
## cast (-5, "uint8")
## @result{} 0
## cast (300, "int8")
## @result{} 127
## @end group
## @end example
##
## Programming Note: This function relies on the object @var{x} having a
## conversion method named @var{type}. User-defined classes may implement only
## a subset of the full list of types shown above. In that case, it may be
## necessary to call cast twice in order to reach the desired type.
## For example, the conversion to double is nearly always implemented, but
## the conversion to uint8 might not be. In that case, the following code will
## work:
##
## @example
## cast (cast (@var{user_defined_val}, "double"), "uint8")
## @end example
##
## @seealso{typecast, int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, uint32, int64, uint64,
## double, single, logical, char, class, typeinfo}
## @end deftypefn
